Escape from SF: Anderson Valley

Drive 100 miles north up Highway 101, then veer west toward the ocean on Highway 128 and you'll find Anderson Valley. It's a place to escape the crowds, channel your inner cowboy, sharpen your wine knowledge, and see more stars than you have in a long time.

Beautiful swimming holes dot the Navarro River, and with 20 wineries in Anderson Valley, it's a great place for wine connoisseurs of all levels. Check out small towns like Boonville, Philo, Navarro, and Yorkville for their quaint shops, restaurants, a brewery, and many wine tasting rooms.
